Emergency fix for a CTD caused by any faction fighting against Libyan Amazon Horde during loading the battle.
New Steppe Axe Cavalry added for the Sarmatians and the Scythians.
New Steppe Axemen units added for the Sarmatians and the Scythians.

Post-Beta

1. Added Amazon Agent's ability to recruit/raise own faction's army in certain enemy territories where there are Amazon communities.
2. new caro-ballistae crew animation and skin
3. new Sarmatian Virgin Cavalry animation and skin
4. corrected Sarmatian "cataphract" armor for caro-ballistae, scale armors are actually made of tile sliced from horse/ox hoofs which was attached to the fowler netting, not linked metal plates.
5. re-adjusted Amazon unit size. This is trying to deploy the decimal system for most unit size configurations. The recommended unit size is the highest setting.
6. removed load screen files to free up more memory, because there about 60 new event monitors running in the script, reducing the load screen files compensates for the memory loss.
7. fixed the minor prize re-entrant issue.
8. Libyan CTD reported by Satapatiš
9. New Armenic Peltast Animation and skin
10. New Geothe Foot Archer unit size.
11. New Thyssagetae Amazon Lesser General Animation

- All male light horse units are now mounting medium horses instead.
- thoroughbred horse as tradable commodity, and units with race horse can only be raised in the regions where the thoroughbred horses are available. The exception being if the region has circus maximus or higher equestrian sports facility.
- 6.0j also tries to refine the previous BUM concept detail regarding attire.
The change is, female light units does not mean it has to be without clothing. It is true for mounted light horse units because any extra weight would increase the load, and for the light horse mount, it is of paramount consideration to keep the weight to a minimum. But the foot units do not have to have the same weight restriction. So for the Scythian changes, some of non-combat oriented light foot units have animal pelt as their attires. There will be no uniform because according to the BUM principles, the cost would be prohibitive. So in a way this is a logical extension to the Thracian Peltast unit change, in which instead of wearing fabricated garment as in the original RTW, it has animal pelt as the attire. With the animal pelt as the unit attire, the cost is justified, otherwise it is not. Still, for CQC light units equipped with shields, many of the units will have naked upper torso and limbs, because this is the only way to guarantee free movement during combat and field maneuver.
